4. Introduction
Background
The research has been conducted in Coastal Zone of the
southern part of Yogyakarta Area.
People in reseach area are mainly use fresh water from dug
wells that abstracted from groundwater for thire daily needs
(deomestics and agrigculture)
Increasing of (population+agriculture) =>
increasing of groundwater abstraction =>
Degradation groundwater resources both in quantity &
quality (Subsidence, Seawater Intrusion…)

11. Literature Review
• Groundwater Modeling Definition
o Groundwater models is the valuable tools for
management of groundwater resources which are
represented of the reality of natural system and can
be used to monitoring, evaluating and forecasting
groundwater flow and transport.
12. Literature Review
• Coastal Aquifer
o In most coastal aquifer systems groundwater flows
naturally towards the sea driven by the head
potential created by inland recharge.
o Freshwater flow influences salinity stratification
13. Literature Review
• Types of Seawater Intrusion
Two types of seawater intrusions
1. Lateral encroachement from the ocean due to
excessive water withdrawals from coastal aquifer
14. Literature Review
Types of Seawater Intrusion (con’d)
2. Upward movement form deeper saline zones due to
upconing near coastal discharge/pumping wells
17. Literature Review
Wates Formation
Consist of littoral sand and gravel
Thicknes range up to 30m
Classified as minor aquifer which limited
the permeability and storage (provided well
yield that can support potable supplied, but only limited
irrigation or industrial supplies)
[Mac Donald and Partners, 1984]

18. Literature Review
Sand Dunes Formation
Consist of fine to medium gravel & sands
overlying the Wates Formation.
Thickness ranges up to 42m
It is unconfined aquifer
Groundwater elevation 3.50 to 5.60m
Depth to groundwater table 0.50 to 4.15m
[Mac Donald and Partners, 1984]

19. Literature Review
Hypothesis
1. Aquifer in study area is unconfined with groundwater
flow directions are dominantly oriented from the north of
the hilly area seaward to the south. Depth of groundwater
table is shallow, and material of aquifer composts of Sand
varied from fine to coarse size and Gravels. Groundwater
quantity is defined as minor aquifer which is limited the
permeability and storativity
2. Groundwater beneath the study area is contaminated
by seawater intrusion resulting from development of
groundwater abstraction for the need of agriculture
aspect and development of tourism sector.

51. Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion
-Based on observation head, the maximum head equaled to 5m while the
minimum head equaled to 0.5m. Hydraulic gradient is estimated equaled
to 2.45. Therefore, depth of groundwater within the study area is shallow
and groundwater direction in research area oriented from the north to
the south.
-The results of parameter sensitivity of aquifer thickness 30 to 40m
presented the lowest error than other cases, we can conclude that the
thickness of aquifer equaled to 30 to 40m is assumed correcly.
-Based on the value of hydraulic conductivity in three locations within the
research area that have been calculated by Slug Test Method equaled to
1.794 10-3, 1.337 10-3, and 8.974 10-4 m/s represented sand and fine gravel
material. Hence, the composition of aquifer in research area is surly sand
and fine gravel
51
52. Conclusion and Recommendation
Conclusion (con’t)
-The initial of saltwater interface presented beneath the study area with
the maximum length of protrusion equaled to 205.1m horizontally and
equaled to 40m vertically from land surface.
- From the application of groundwater modeling shown that water table
can be dropped down due to the increasing of groundwater usage.
However, this changing is not relatively different from steady-state
condition because rate of groundwater abstraction still low compare to
abundance of groundwater resources in this area. The rate of
groundwater abstraction is limited due to the population density is low as
well as human activities such as industrial factories, hotels, and guesthouse
still low this area.
